Amanda Seyfried to Host Saturday Night Live for First Time

On November 15, Saturday Night Live announced that Amanda Seyfried will host the December 5 episode, marking her first time leading the NBC sketch comedy show. Rapper Don Toliver is set to perform as the episode’s musical guest.

The announcement appeared during the November 14 broadcast, hosted by John Mulaney. That episode was the show’s last before a Thanksgiving break, with its next broadcast scheduled for December 5.

Seyfried has a new animated film, Netflix’s Steps, due to debut on November 20. She has also drawn attention for her role in You Can See Everything, a documentary about Elizabeth Holmes in which Seyfried appears as herself and Holmes. She previously portrayed Holmes in Hulu’s short-run drama The Dropout, a performance that earned her an Emmy.

Saturday Night Live airs live on NBC and Peacock at 11:30 p.m. Eastern time on Saturdays.
